SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 332,171, dated December 8, 1885.

Application filed November 28, 1884. Serial No. 149,000. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concer-n:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. THORN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Youngstown, in the county of Mahoning and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Liquor-Pumps; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of my invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertain's te make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part ot' this speciiication.

rlhis invention relates to certain improve ments in liquor-pumps; and it has for its ob` jeotsto provide a pump that may be securely fastened in the bung-hole ofthe barrel at any desired height, and which may be conveniently manipulated when so secured, as more fully hereinafter specified. These objects I attain by the means illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l represents a view, partly in side elevation and partly in section, ot' my improved pump. Fig. 2 represents a detached View of the valve-lifting attachment. Fig. 3 represents a view of the piston and a portion of the piston-rod; Fig. et, a perspective view ofthe valve employed in connection with the pump; and Fig. 5, a horizontal sectional view of the filter-section, taken on the line x x of Fig. 1.

rIhe letter A indicates the pump barrel or cylinder, which is constructed of metal or other suitable material, and is provided with the usual discharge-pipe near the top.

The letter B indicates a device by which 4the pump is clamped and supported in the bung-hole. This device consists of two split rings, a b, joined by a series of beveled wings,

c, which widen from their lower to their upper ends, as clearly indicated` in the drawings. rI he pump-barrel passes through these rings, and when in place the device is intended to remain permanently upon the pump, forming part of the same. rIhe lower end of shown in Fig. 4, and is provided with a shoulder, F, to ft the seat and insure atight joint. The said valve vE is constructed of vulcanized rubber or other light material which will float, so that after one or two strokes ofthe pumppiston the pump will act as a siphon.

The letter G indicates the piston, which is attached to a pistonrod, H, the said rod eX- tending through a stutngbox at the top of the pump. lhc piston is provided with a valve, I, adapted to be lifted and held by the upward current of the liquid when the pump is used as a siphon.

The letter D, as above indicated, represents the filter-section, which is tubular in shape, and which may be packed with any suitable material. The said section is perforated, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5, to permit the entrance of the liquid.

The letter K indicates a detachable section, which is slotted, as indicated by k, and which has located within it a rod, Z, from which projects a pin, m, through the slot. The upper end of said section is screw-threaded, so that it may be screwed into the iiltering-section before mentioned.

rPhe operation of my invention is as follows: The pump is inserted in the bung-hole and the clamping device entered around it. Vhen inserted to the proper depth, the clamping device is driven or forced into the bung-hole, so as to clamp the rings around the pump-barrel and hold it securely.' The pump is then ready for operation in the usual manner.

W hen the pump is removed from the barrel, any remaining liquor may be discharged by raising the rod I), which lifts the valve above it.

Having thus described my invention, what I cla-im, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination, with the pumpbarrel, of the clampingbung consisting oi' two rings connected by tapering wings split at one side, so as to clamp the tube in any desired position when inserted in the bung, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

JOHN H. THORN.
